I used to grow luffas for eating. Picked small, breaded and fried they are similar to summer squash and very productive. The old folks here call them "vining okra".


haha! good to know. at least at that stage you
don't have to worry about them scrubbing out your
intestines...

have a bucket of small squash to clean out and bake
today. mostly they are for seeds or at least i hope the
seeds are developed enough. if i procrastinate long
enough i may end up doing it this evening... i feel a
nap coming on...
